Except that humans are now in a situation where modern medicine has also allowed us to live much longer. The natural cycle of birth-aging-death has been disrupted. You suddenly have a world where there are too many 80 year olds and not enough 8 year olds.

80year olds in power that don't want to leave their post or give up their position so a younger person can take over. They can work until they die.
